I just got off the phone with my sister. Her son (my nephew/Godson) called and said, "How are you feeling, Mom? Are you doing OK?" He received a letter from the State of New Jersey saying, because his mother had passed away, her benefits were discontinued for the months of July and August. Can you imagine? It's going to take forever to get this straightened out!

She said, "Thank God, I have overdraft protection on my account." I said, "That much, Anna!?!" "OMG...I'd better get on the phone with the bank right away."

After the initial shock, I couldn't help but laugh. I wondered how many other people this might have happened to. Perhaps a disgruntled employee getting back at the powers that be? Hope I'm not one of the recently deceased...it would definitely screw up the nursing home's accounts.
